Several of Columbus' approximate 300 Muslim families participated in the "Come Meet a Muslim" event at the Columbus Public Library Wednesday night.
Four panelists--all Muslims, but different ages and backgrounds--took questions from a small, but eager crowd.
Columbus has four mosques. According to a Cornell University study, the number of American Muslims is expected to double by 2014 to 16 million.
More events like this one are being planned.

“Remember When” is a weekly feature that takes you back in time. We use a photograph, usually from the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer archives, to help trigger your memories about a person, place or event from the past. Then, we ask you to get in touch with us via e-mail, Facebook, or phone and share those memories. The following week, we share a sampling of your personal stories that bring our local history to life.
